Warners has heard from exhibition loud and clear that it needs these movies like air after the 2020-21 Covid closure. Suspicions abounded when there wasn’t a trailer this summer for James Wan’s Aquaman 2 tagged to the theatrical release of Warner’s Barbie. Meanwhile, despite the rumors out there about Warner Bros further shaking up its December release calendar due to the strike, the studio’s current holiday tentpoles of Wonka(December 15), DC’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom(December 20) and The Color Purple(December 25) will stick to their dates, even if the SAG-AFTRA strike still is lingering.
